1. Comprehensive Property Inspection
Our rat control process starts with a comprehensive on-site inspection conducted by a trained technician. We look for all signs of infestation, including droppings, gnaw marks, nests, and tracks, while evaluating the level of damage present.
2. Tailored Treatment Plan
Every rat infestation is unique, which is why we create a customised treatment plan to suit your specific property. Whether it’s a terraced home in East London or a warehouse in Surrey, our approach is tailored to the environment.
Recognising the Signs of a Rat Infestation
Rats present serious health hazards for both residential and commercial properties. Black rats (Rattus rattus) and brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are known carriers of dangerous bacteria, parasites, and diseases, including leptospirosis and salmonella. With the ability to reproduce rapidly - often producing as many as six litters each year - prompt intervention is critical. If left unchecked, infestations can escalate quickly, leading to extensive damage to electrical wiring, insulation, timber structures, and even concrete.
Common signs of a rat problem include:
Identifying a rat problem early is essential for effective control. Common signs include:
-
Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings, or beneath floors
-
Dark, spindle-shaped droppings found near food areas or appliances
-
Grease marks or urine trails along walls and skirting boards
-
Chewed food packaging, electrical wiring, or plastic materials
-
A strong, musty ammonia-like odour from hidden nesting sites
-
Unusual pet behaviour, such as barking at or pawing walls
-
Burrows or holes around foundations, sheds, or outbuildings
-
Visible gnaw marks on wood, pipes, or structural features
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm, which often makes DIY control methods ineffective. To protect your health, property, and reputation, professional rat pest control in London is strongly recommended.
